n50be (n50be) asked a question.
We are writing an application that renders stats based on users, and the groups they are members of. Operating on the scale of 30K users and 15K groups in Okta, with 0-10 members per group, we want to be able to keep a local copy in sync with Okta's authoritative directory source.
What is the best way to to accomplish this?
Using the regular API can take a large amount of time, specifically when iterating group-by-group to get members. That paired with quota throttling, slows us down more. (If you know a better/quicker way to get member/group membership than this method, please let me know 🙂
We have some other ideas, such as maybe an initial API-based sync, then event-based incrementals, or setting up SCIM to replicate from Okta, but was curious to what the best practice here would be for this usage pattern.
Hi @n50be (n50be) , thank you for contacting Okta Community!
I've reviewed our documentation for something relevant. It looks like your question is more appropriate for our dedicated Okta Developer Forum. I advise reaching out via devforum.okta.com as they will have more insight into this topic.
While we'll do our best to answer your questions here, this medium is more inclined towards Okta's core products and features (non-developer work).
Regards.
